Description
Published selections from Hawthorne's journals during his family's tour of France, Italy and a part of Switzerland, including substantial observations on Italian and Roman art and architecture as well as the ways of life and culture he observed.
Excerpt 1:
Of France he saw but little, and the main portion of these journals is therefore devoted to Italy, where he remained from the end of January, 1858, until the middle of May, 1859. While he was in Home the second time, his elder daughter, Una, then about six teen years of age, had a severe attack of Roman fever.
Excerpt 2:
At about one o'clock we went on board, and were soon under steam, at a rate that quickly showed a long line of the white cliffs of Albion behind us. It is a very dusky white, by the by, and the cliffs them selves do not seem, at a distance, to be of imposing height, and have too even an outline to be picturesque.
As we increased our distance from England, the French coast came more and more distinctly in sight.
